Losing a parent creates an unexplainable feeling…only known to those who have experienced it… and it  doesn’t seem to matter if we expect it or not.  Still hurts.  I send hugs and prayers to you, Bill, expressing my condolences to you and your family.  May you feel is Presence and Guidance from Above.
Respectfully,
Susan DeKom

To the Szolnoki Family,
I just heard of the sad news of your husband, your Dad, your brother, your grandfather and your Father-in-law’s passing and want to express my deepest sympathy to each of you. I am truly sorry for your loss.  I am a good friend of Nancy’s, having worked with her in surgery at WakeMed Hospital in Cary, NC for many, many years.  I know Nancy to be a wonderful daughter and I’ve no doubt her Dad’s life was ever enriched by her dedication to him.  
God bless you all,
In sympathy,
JoAnne Woll
